South and east of the Sierra lie vast California deserts. The high Mojave and low Death Valley Deserts cover a huge acreage and include valuable mineral deposits. Historic ghost towns, towering sand dunes, and dramatic rock formations carved by the incessant erosive power of water and wind. The biggest surprise for many first-time visitors, especially in spring after the winter rains, is the subtle beauty and sheer variety of life that thrives in what is usually an arid environment. Death Valley was formed millions of years ago by the folding and faulting pressures of the earth’s crust, uplifting the surrounding mountains and dropping the area between them too far below sea level. The lowest point in the United States lies south of Furnace Creek. A sign shows clearly when you are 282 feet below sea level.

During this 3-Day Road Trip from Los Angeles, we will start from a few points of interest in the Mojave Desert including the historic ghost town on our way there. This trip has two overnight stays in Amargosa Opera House & Hotel in Death Valley. All trips will be taken from there on Day 2 as well. From there we will travel to see sand dunes, artists palette and the lowest point of the desert - Badwater Basin.

Overall, this trip has eleven points of interest to stop and explore. Last day we will spend driving back to Los Angeles through Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve State Natural Reserve hoping to catch the famous spring flower bloom in California desert :)
